What I think we all really need is to lie on our backs, kick up our feet up and hug our legs to our chest like this kitty... and just meditate all the stress away.

On second thought, I'm pretty sure I'm not this flexible.

P.S. Have you donated to my Santa Paws Drive yet? Every dollar helps! Our six shelters have more than 750 cats and 450 dogs combined, and our goal is to send each and every single one of them at least one Christmas present!

Here is the situation: There is a soda box with a hole in the side. There is a cat who is approximately 10 times (at least!) bigger than the hole.

But this cat really wants to get in that box... and is not going to give up until he succeeds!

P.S. We're off to a great start with Santa Paws Drive! We're three days in, and I'm so excited for the progress so far! If you haven't already, take a look at the six shelters we're collecting donations for -- one was hard-hit by Hurricane Sandy in New York, three others are no-kill, non-profits in the U.S., one is in Hungary and one is in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus!

First up, we have a most wonderful montage of pictures of Pimp's heart-shaped nose. If his little nose doesn't make you want to smooch his face, I think you need to get your face-smooching reflexes checked.

The line for smooches starts here.

Next up, it's Moo atop his mountain. What mountain, you ask? Well the mountain of comforter and clean sheets I made, foolishly thinking that piling it high would keep a kitty off of it.

No, sir. When I got home, he was perched up there and had made a cat-sized crater in that mountain of clean stuff.

Mount Moo.

And last, but certainly not least, long-time readers will remember Little Meow, my former parking lot kitty who found a most wonderful home with my friend, Giselle.

Little Meow had a rough start in her new home. She did not like Giselle's husband much (she has never really liked men!) and had a few potty issues. But after plenty of love and patience, she has become an absolute princess.

Giselle sent me this picture of Little Meow last week -- she not only likes her husband now, but she has become his lap kitty! These makes me happier than I have words for. I loved Little Meow like my very own out there in my office parking lot for years.

Little Meow the princess! (See her ear-tipped ear? She's a former feral!)

P.S. In case you missed it yesterday, Santa Paws Drive has officially started! It's a toy and treat drive I started four years ago to give shelter animals some holiday presents (our kitties and doggies at home get lots of gifts -- these animals deserve some, too!). Please check it out and spread the word, and donate if you can spare a few dollars. If not, simply share. Every little bit helps! Thank you!Why not subscribe to Your Daily Cute by email?

When running after his toys, this kitty uses a scamper and skedaddle technique -- get real flat and low and shuffle along the bed.

Don't blink or you might miss it!

P.S. Today we are officially kicking off Santa Paws Drive! For those of you who may not know, this is an annual toy and treats drive that I started four years ago (like Toys for Tots, but for animals!). It is my absolute favorite thing to do each year!
